Having written about my mother as a means of giving expression to some of my own feelings, I have found it uplifting to read the thoughts of others about the relationship between parent and child - something important to all of us.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-36121081334622213812010-02-06T20:56:48.846+00:002010-02-06T20:56:48.846+00:00I could not put it better than Margot.

A happy mother is a gift indeed, and it seems you had just that. I can think of no higher praise for someone than to say she "thoroughly enjoyed what she recognized... was a wonderful and very happy life". I know you will miss her dreadfully and I am thinking of you.Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-32559891024939232852010-02-05T19:46:48.219+00:002010-02-05T19:46:48.219+00:00Funny-my mother a decade younger, had no anecdotes...Funny-my mother a decade younger, had no anecdotes at all. She never talked about her past unless pressed. I had to make up stories to fill in the silence. But it wasn't an unpleasant silence. She'd just rather have us talk and her listen.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-77565875923500821012010-02-05T18:09:56.084+00:002010-02-05T18:09:56.084+00:00Martin - I'm certain that your mother was plea...Martin - I'm certain that your mother was pleased that she inspired you and very, very proud of your success as a writer. Speaking as a mother, there can be nothing more fulfilling than to see one's child become a kind, decent, successful adult. Your mother must have felt quite fulfilled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
